Book Review: Bunny
Wonderfully written and deeply disturbing. The characters were lovely, which made it hit so much harder when awful things happened to them.

Book Review: Malachite
Don’t mistake a slow-burn romance for a slow book; this title is fast-paced and plot-heavy from page one, every new secret creating drama.
